ID Please
Got a new anemone today. Pretty sure it's a Ritteri but I just wanted to make sure.

Not a ritteri (H. magnifica), but luckily an LTA (Macrodactyla doreensis). They are much easier by comparison. BTW, they usually prefer sandy areas, so try it toward the bottom.

I had it on the sand but it was rolling around. So I sat him on a rock and it looks like it attached itself.

fwiw: I agree it looks like M. doreensis to me as well.

Should I wait and see what it does? Or should I go ahead and stick him in the sand?

If he didn't attach already I would put him on the sand.

He looks like he's attached. It hasn't moved much at all where I put it. The foot looks attached to me.

If it is attached, leave it alone. I would see what it does for the time being. In the meantime, please take the time to cover up any powerhead intakes to protect it while it settles down.
